🔍 Key Concepts

• Bourdon tube pressure gauge measures force exerted by a fluid on the inside of a curved tube • Difference between pressure, vacuum, and temperature measurements • What "compound" usually means when referring to pressure gauges on ships

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Does a Bourdon tube sense mechanical pressure, temperature, or moisture in the air? How does it move the pointer? • Think about where you see compound Bourdon gauges on board (e.g., suction and discharge sides of pumps). What two ranges or conditions do they usually cover? • Which choices involve properties of air and temperature, and which involve different directions of pressure on the same dial?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm that a Bourdon tube reacts to internal fluid pressure, not directly to temperature or humidity • Recall that vacuum on a gauge is shown as pressure below atmospheric, often on the same dial as positive pressure • Eliminate any answer options that would require a completely different type of sensor (like thermometers or psychrometers) rather than a pressure-measuring element
